I landed about the same time as a 767 (different runways) and ended up
taking the same taxiway as the big bird. We entered opposite ends of the
taxiway about the same time and turned to face each other like in a western
movie gun battle. He needed only to travel about 1/3 of the taxiway before
turning off, while I needed to travel the whole length to get to the ramp
where I parked. Obviously we weren't both going to accomplish our goals at
the same time. Ground control told me where the jet would be turning off,
directed me to give way to the jet, and cautioned for jetwash. I paused for
a second, then answered, "I've given it some thought and I've decided to let
the big guy have his way". I don't know if it was the jet pilot or another
pilot on the field that answered, but while laughing he said, "Good thing -
you'd lose".

I'm working my way through my IFR training...
Today on the radio "79V switch to 134.0"

Where I dial in 134.0 on the toggle freq acknolege the request
switch to COM2 (Meant to hit toggle)
Annonced that I was checking in....
At which point ground control (from where I'd left 15 min ago)
tells me they don't know why I'm calling..... with laughter.

I realise that this in only slightly funny, but makes me wonder
what is the funnyist thing you have ever heard on the radio?
